Why does the Scottish referendum on independence matter for Turkey?
On Sept. 18 Scotland will undertake a referendum, historic not only for its own destiny, but also for the destiny and unity of the entire United Kingdom. The question is simple: Should Scotland be an independent country? A “yes” answer will change a lot, and a “no” answer, one may think, will result in “business as usual.” I have doubts on the latter. The fact that Scotland has reached a point in its history to vote on independence is already a sea change in the status quo. In any case, one may suggest that the vote on Sept. 18, without any prejudice to its outcome, will result in a significant redefinition of the U.K.’s political and economic parameters.
